I really hope they're more reliable than Americans at cleaning their own house.

My first modem was an AT&T 300 baud acoustic coupler. My last was a USRobotics 56k for the BBS I ran till the early 2000s.

I later switched to DSL for my Internet, but the reason we never did this sort of thing was the ISDN was just easier to get bandwidth and the tech existed to do what you needed with a few of them.

12x POTS lines, or 6 full duplex ISDNs.

My 56k never actually achieved that, most of the time it was 33.6 or 28.8.

This is neat, and fun to see them still being tinkered with.

Fuck that in every which way.

High-altitude winds between 1,640 and 3,281 feet (500 and 10,000 meters) above the ground

So y'all will have in depth conversations about the meaning of the colors of a fucking Labubu with ChatGPT, but can't be bothered to ask it to do the math on this?

Cause 10,000 meters isn't 3,281 feet.

Fuck, maybe I should turn my add blocker off once in awhile.

Fantastic take. No notes.
